francolin 449 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Does a goldie mule sing better than s full goldie ? Is this why there muled ? Or is it for looks ? Some mules sure are pretty think there muled for the challenge, the colour of a mule makes a big difference,to a lot of folk,i like to see a nice goldie to be honest.

Some mules sure are pretty Depends on the bird,my old goldie cock was a poor singer and i got a cd to play to the young uns,but the goldie cock i have now is louder,sings harder and better than any of my mules do,the thing with a mule is they will sing all year round but a native cock really only sings during the breeding season hence why folk breed them so they can have a singing bird all year round but as for a challenge there the easiest of birds to breed or at least they have been for me 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

francolin 449 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I don't know a lot about the mules,i had 17 one year and they were all very dull in colour ,very basic but I enjoyed them and some sang very nice,not finch only I might add Quote Link to post Share on other sites
